Greetings,

There have ben several instances of this in my wnHTML coding which 
required me to cut and paste large sections into a new document.

One of the possible problems were that I was editing the documents 
between the text editor I had available at the time I wanted to edit. 
Subsequently, one document would be created in Word, edited in pico or 
simple text and back to word.  Along the way, I think I picked soemthing up.
Is this tru with your scenario?

Hope this helps,

Matt
